Pupils study interesting topics, which they say help them learn. For example, pupils learn about Anne Frank in the topic ‘hidden heroism’ and how to debate when learning about the Fire of London. Staff expect all pupils to do their best. Pupils learn reading, writing and mathematics successfully. Most pupils behave well. Pupils pay attention in lessons and follow instructions promptly. This is a nurturing school, and pupils who need help to make the right choice get effective support. Staff respond quickly to any poor behaviour, and bullying is rare. At lunchtimes pupils benefit from a range of activities. They play basketball together and exercise in the outdoor gym. Year 6 sports buddies organise games and ensure that nobody gets left out. Pupils are happy to talk to staff if they are upset, and know they will get help. They feel safe. Leaders arrange lots of new experiences for pupils. Pupils attend clubs, including yoga, cross country and ukulele. They learn to use tools and light a fire safely at forest school. Pupils understand democracy while voting in an election to be ‘headteacher’ for a day. They build confidence performing at a local theatre. Pupils enjoy coming to this school.
